Javan was the first person I interviewed for this podcast and we recorded this back in July. I met him at a training for WA state Peer Counselors and he was one of the trainers. Every time this man presented, I had chills. His energy, his vibe, his genuineness.... you feel it! His authenticity was an instant draw. I love a story of triumph and perseverance. He is a force to be reckoned with. He is a no BS man and he is changing communities. I am so blessed to have met this man and happy to call him a friend. **Thankfully we made it through the interview before some technical difficulties shut the recording off**
